Wongan Tree Trunk Tunnel 23 cm for Rodents!

Wongan Tree Trunk Tunnel 23 cm – robust mahogany tunnel with side opening

The Wongan Log Tunnel is a robust natural mahogany tunnel for rodents that enjoy hiding, exploring, climbing, and gnawing. Thanks to its hollowed-out shape, your animal can walk through it, hide inside, clamber over it, or use the tunnel as part of a natural route through the enclosure.

At DRD, when it comes to tunnels, we focus primarily on stability, the opening, the material, and how your animal actually uses the item. The Wongan has a flattened base, which makes it lie more stably than a round tunnel. Additionally, this log tunnel has an extra side opening of approximately 8 cm. This makes it particularly fun as a passageway, sniffing spot, and scaping element in hamsterscaping, gerbilscaping, and ratscaping.

Advantages of the Wongan Log Tunnel

✔ Sturdy mahogany wood with a natural look
✔ Extra side opening for more route planning and discovery fun
✔ Flattened bottom, causing the tunnel to roll less quickly
✔ Great for hamsterscaping, gerbilscaping, and ratscaping
✔ Can be used as a tunnel, hiding place, climbing object, gnawing object, and foraging area

Why choose the Wongan Log Tunnel?

The Wongan Log Tunnel is ideal when you are looking for a natural tunnel that not only looks beautiful but can also actually be used. Your animal can walk through the tunnel, enter or exit through the side opening, climb over the tunnel, and use it as a sheltered spot in the enclosure.

The extra side opening makes this tunnel different from a standard straight log tunnel. This allows you to use the Wongan effectively as a junction in a natural route. For hamsters and gerbils, you can partially incorporate it into the bedding so that it resembles a natural passageway. For mice, you can also position it in a slightly more playful way, as mice enjoy climbing and using various routes.

The flattened section at the bottom is practical because it ensures the tunnel remains more stable. This is beneficial for animals that actively dig, push, climb, or gnaw. In this way, the tunnel becomes a sturdy part of the enclosure instead of a loose object that constantly shifts.

Wongan or Lampegan: what is the difference?

The Wongan Log Tunnel has an extra opening on the side. This makes this tunnel particularly fun when you want to create more pathways, sniffing spots, and viewing points within the enclosure. If you are looking for a simpler, straight log tunnel without a side opening, the Lampegan is a better fit.

So choose the Wongan when you are looking for a tunnel that does more than just provide passage from left to right. The side opening makes the enclosure more interesting and gives your animal more choice in how it uses the tunnel.

For which animals is the Wongan Log Tunnel suitable?

• Mouse: suitable as a tunnel, climbing object, and route element. Mice can walk through the main tunnel, use the side opening, and clamber over the tunnel.
• Dwarf hamster: suitable as a low tunnel and sheltered passage in a hamsterscaping enclosure. The opening of approx. 8 cm provides a spacious passage for dwarf hamsters.
• Hamster: suitable as a natural tunnel, hiding place, or landscaping element. When choosing a Syrian hamster, always consider their body shape so that your hamster can move comfortably through the opening.
• Gerbil: highly suitable as a robust tunnel and gnawable furnishing element. Gerbils can use the tunnel in a deep burrow layer and actively gnaw on the mahogany wood.
• Dwarf rat: suitable as a low tunnel, sniffing spot, or route element when the size is appropriate. Because dwarf rats can vary among themselves, look primarily at body structure and usage.
• Rat: suitable as a low tunnel, shelter, sniffing spot, or natural Ratscaping element. For larger rats, it is important to check if the opening and interior space are suitable.
• Degu: suitable as a sturdy gnawing and exploration object. Degus are active gnawers, making the robust mahogany structure a good fit for natural enrichment.

This log tunnel is not suitable for guinea pigs, rabbits, and chinchillas. For these animals, it is better to choose a wider tunnel, a suitable house, or another natural furnishing element that better suits their build and way of moving.

Usage & placement

Place the Wongan Log Tunnel in a stable spot in the enclosure. Thanks to the flattened bottom, the tunnel rests comfortably on the floor or in the bedding. You can lay it down loosely, bury it halfway, or place it against another tunnel route.

For dwarf hamsters and hamsters, use the tunnel primarily low and sturdy. In hamsterscaping, you can combine it with deep bedding, cork, moss, sand, dried flowers, and herbs. For gerbils, you can firmly incorporate the tunnel into the bedding so that it becomes part of their digging and gnawing environment.

For mice, you can also incorporate the tunnel upright or at an angle into a sturdy layer of bedding, as long as it stands firmly and stably. Mice often enjoy moving inside, through, and over it. For pygmy rats and rats, the tunnel fits well into a Ratscaping zone with bedding, tunnels, sniffing material, and low routes.

Do you want to make the tunnel extra interesting? Then hide some herbs, flowers, leaves, or small snacks inside the tunnel or near the side opening. This way, your animal has to smell, search, and discover, instantly turning the tunnel into a small foraging spot.

Cleaning & maintenance

Because this is a natural wooden item, it is best to keep the Wongan Tree Trunk Tunnel dry and clean. You can remove loose dirt with a brush or a dry cloth. In the event of a minor accident, you can wipe the wood locally with a slightly damp cloth and, if necessary, a suitable urine remover, such as CSI Urine Spray.

Allow the wood to dry thoroughly after cleaning before placing the tunnel back in the enclosure. Also, check regularly that the tunnel remains sturdy and tidy, especially for animals that like to gnaw.

Good to know

The Wongan Log Tunnel is a natural product. Color, shape, thickness, structure, and size may therefore vary slightly from piece to piece. This makes every tunnel unique and gives the enclosure a truly natural look.

Check the tunnel regularly for wear. Signs of use are inherent to natural wood, especially with active rodents such as gerbils and degus. Replace the tunnel when it is gnawed too far or becomes less stable.
